Fellowship Project

Automated extractionof dementia related volumetric assessments from radiology reports

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust

The aim for the project was to develop a natural language processing algorithm that could perform automated extraction of mentions of neurodegeneration- relevant volumetric assessments from plain text brain MRI reports, in a large cohort of patients referred for imaging from memory clinic in the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. Adam developed a machine learning algorithm to perform the above task. He also gained further skills around developing/maintaining datasets and experimental design and hyperparameter tuning. The project was published as a poster at the Dementia Platforms UK Translation 2023 Conference and is being prepared for publication.
